Yes. Go through check before midnight. Easy

Exactly

You are supposed to check in 3 hours before your flight anyway.
So I do not see the problem that you will want to check in after midnight.
You will be fine.

@Ernst ********
also depends on airline. I have been in situations where checkin counter doesn’t open until 2-2.5 hours before flight.

there are people who claim that they had problems with immigration if the flight was after the visa expiry dateYT ********************
OPThere you go. Everyone’s cooking a tasty soup, and then one guy shows up and throws in some mustard seeds.

This assumes the airline weill give you a boarding pass early enough.

Good Question👍
On the other hand you could also extend one day next time when you fly to thailand and land at 11pm. After landing wait before immigration just 1 more hour untill you pass through 😁 just check if the officer adjust the date already 😉

Yes. Check in usually opens 3 hours before the flight, so you’ll be ok.
Jeremy ********
Yes you can…most airlines open up the customer counter 3-4 hours prior to departure time
Stephan ***********
Yep... do so and you'll be fine.

As long as you get through passport control before midnight, you'll be fine.

OP@Brandon ***********
eh, did you read the recent post? One guy said it's not about what time you pass through the immigration but what time is the flight...Brandon ************
@YT *******************
That guy is an idiot. Immigration doesn't even look at your boarding passYT ********************
OP@Brandon ***********
what if don't?Brandon ************
@YT *******************
Then you get an overstay stamp in your passport and the fee is waived for 1-day overstay at airports.Brandon ************
@YT *******************
only at airports. 1 day overstay fine is waived but you still get overstay stamp in your passportYT ********************
OP@Brandon ***********
the guy said that you can be overstayed less than 24hr without fine, is it true?Randy ********
@YT *******************
500baht overstay fee and an overstay stamp in your passport. That’s the worse case scenario. If they are feeling generous, they will just give you the overstay stamp and not charge you.Wannikea *********
@YT *******************
says the guy that questions, contradicts, and contorts, every factual answer their given....YT ********************
OP@Wannikea ********
behave there, no trolling accepted hereWannikea *********
@YT *******************
what part of before midnight is hard for you to understand?Wannikea *********
@Randy *******
there is no fine for overstay less than 24 hours when leaving by an airportRandy ********
@YT *******************
anything is possible but I wouldn’t count on it. Get there early enough and you will avoid it all together. Good luck.YT ********************
OP@David *****
lol, you're genius. Don't drink from the morning.
David ******
@YT *******************
for fucks sake, if you're so worried about it, just make sure you're through in time. It's not that hard.YT ********************
OP@Randy *******
